Raga Nattakurinji
Recorded at the Darbar Festival 2008 in Leicester, Phoenix Theatra.

Sanjay Subrahmanyan was born in Chennai on January 21, 1968 into a family steeped in Carnatic music. The air in his childhood home was thick with the strains of some of the greatest voices ever known to the Carnatic music world – blaring out from the radio, tape recorders and the gramophone. Like many others in the family, Sanjay took to the art form like a duck to water. His early training included violin and vocal classes from Guru V. Lakshminarayana, his grand aunt Guru Rukmini Rajagopalan, Guru Calcutta K.S. Krishnamurthi and more recently, from Nadaswaram maestro Guru S.R.D. Vaidyanathan. Today, at the height of his powers, Sanjay is himself an iconic inspiration to the younger generation, and his legion of admirers is spread all over the globe.

My country Bangladesh shares the hindustani classical music stream. But I really feel drawn towards the Carnatic form of classical music. The fascination started with hearing the crystal clear and pitch perfect voices of South Indian singers in bollywood. Every composition of AR Rehman with the south voices felt like breath of fresh air. So I started hearing the classical Raga in YouTube. It's really on another level. I just hope commercialisation doesn't corrupt the tradition of such divine music.

Many places I feel Sanjay sir is playing violin with his voice itself!!

[padmakarnikam]

Never heard anything like this...took me to another world while listening.

[ayshasharma]

Oh my god! I am in another world! I never knew that this kind of singing also existed. Blessed

Sanjay Subrahmanyan is a treasure! And he and his violinist have such great chemistry that it's fun to watch.

i went through my teenage weed phase. but i was so into the 60's. and a major influence in that is ragas, Carnatic, and other asian/indian music.
i love Ravi Shankar and i worked at an animal hospital with the cats in the kennels. I brought my bluetooth speaker, and played them music just like this! also native american flute. It made everyone people and animals so much more blissful. I may never travel to India, but itll always have a place in my heart <3

[anandsarda]

I naturally sat up cross-legged with spine up straight, from lying comfortably on my bed.
And I've never seen myself at so much ease with myself.

This music. 🙏 It brings out most emotions out so naturally.

[TheMANDOLINLOVER]

Mr Varadarajan as usual magical on the violin.

[aeleyva]

Greetings from México, so Nice to My ears listen that, i don't know what it means but i like it!

[sm]

Sanjay is one who doesn't trade off this divine art for populism. His presentations are a purists' delight. I have now subscribed to your excellent channel. Though from South I listen to Pandit Chorasia, Kaushiki Chakraborti et al.

[pisthpeeps]

Violinist outperforms Sanjay at some places ❤️❤️❤️
